Chapter 1154
Hector suddenly felt shy, but he remembered something. “By the way, the middle-aged woman who was
with my sister was the wife of our editor-in-chief.”
Maisie frowned, “The one who cheated on with Mr. Lowe?”
Hector nodded.
She pondered, ‘That means that when Linda and the wife of Hector’s boss were fighting, the man in the
room was Mr. Lowe? What kind of relationship does Linda have with him?’
Hector looked down, looking upset. “I really wanted to advise my sister, but she wouldn’t listen.”
Maisie smiled. “It’s fine as long as you advised her. It’s up to her to listen or not. It’s not your fault if she
chooses to ignore it because you’ve done your part.”
He nodded.
When Hector was walking into his apartment, Maisie called out to him, and he turned around. “Is there

Maisie looked at him. “It’s best to be careful around Mr. Lowe.”
Hector paused for a moment, but seeing how serious Maisie looked, he nodded.
Two days later, at Soul…
Maisie hadn’t been back to the company in half a year, and once she got back, her employees
surrounded her and had a lot to say . Most of them were updating her on work-related issues of the past
half a year.
Some said their orders had been delayed and that the clients had come to the office and caused a
scene.
Those that Lucy couldn’t handle would be sent to Kennedy because their clients were mostly socialites
and people knew him in that industry. The socialites would show him leniency, so Kennedy had been
returning to the office in the past two months.
“Why were the orders delayed?” Maisie walked into her office, around the desk, ar
Lucy pouted and slowly replied, “Too many people resigned recently, and we only have a few people left
in the operations team. The materials that were out of stock couldn’t be delivered on time, so they were
delayed. Those that were supposed to be ready by this month had to be pushed back to the next…”
Maisie frowned while she removed her coat and put it on the back of the chair. What caused this wave of
resignations?
Lucy looked at her and took a deep breath.” Ms. Vanderbilt… You haven’t given a raise to the operations
staff in two years. That’s why they left.” The last part was more of a mumble.
Maisie was rendered speechless.
She put her hand to her forehead. “A raise …” Maisie felt embarrassed. “It really didn’t cross my mind.”
“Because you promised that, the workers thought that you were lying to them and just said that to keep
them around. And since you haven’t been in the office for the past six months, people thought…” Lucy
was embarrassed. “They thought that the company is closing down soon and that you’ve run away.”

those who have tendered their resignation, they can keep their positions. If not, I won’t force them. We’ll
hire a few more people there.”
Lucy nodded. “Alright.”
Maisie rubbed her temples. How could she have forgotten about giving raises? That was what she had
promised them when Nolan asked for her hand in marriage. The other departments had all received
bonuses, but she had left out the operations team!
Her phone that she had placed on the desk received a news update. When she clicked on it, she
realized it was about Hector!
Hector’s identity as a convict had been exposed, and everyone had learned why he had served time in
prison.
Other than the Vanderbilts and Nolan, no one else knew about that!
